QCon is a practitioner-driven conference designed for technical team leads, architects, and project managers who influence software innovation in their teams.

Presentation: "People over Process: Applying it in real world software development"

Track: Agile in Actuality: Stories from the Front Line / Time: Thursday 10:20 - 11:10 / Location: Whittle Room

Espoused by the Agile Manifesto in its first line, "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools" this important point is often lost in the noise and given only lip service by many. How do you step away from blindly following process and engage people to create real, meaningful change. This talk draws from the author's considerable technical experience in industry, and particularly from his learnings at zeebox, Unibet and BBC R&D over the last few years - focussing strongly on practical application at the frontline.
